Ingredients

• 500 g Pork shoulder
• 3 tbsp White vinegar
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Dried chili flakes (optional)
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 200 ml Tomato puree
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 1 tbsp Palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 100 ml Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 2 cups Jasmine rice (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and place in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and a pinch of salt to the pork. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, finely mince the garlic and ginger, and dice the onion.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, paprika, dried chili flakes (if using), and the cinnamon stick. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast them.

Step 8

Add the marinated pork to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the tomato puree, coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon of palm sugar. Mix well.

Step 10

Pour in the water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 11

Simmer gently for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the curry has thickened.

Step 12

Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar to balance the flavors right before serving.

Step 13

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or sugar if needed.

Step 14

Serve the Malaysian Pork Vindaloo hot with steamed jasmine rice and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
